Iowa Fall 2012 GTG

[nstueve]

I thought for sure I was gonna make this one for sure but now have to fly to Fargo Sunday morning. :msp_sad:

I seem to recall from earlier in the thread it's going to be near Des Moines?

get a flight out of des moines and you'll only be 10-15mins strait south of the Des Moines airport!!!!

I have a hitch mount vise as long as I have enough drop cord.

I've got tons of drop cord! Maybe we'll park you right up by the garage...???

Talk about a crying shame though... Went to pick up some 25-30in walnut trunks tonight and the guy already lopped them into 2ft sections... That trunk was worth some real money until the owner got over zealous... Could have chainsaw milled them and truned them into some beautiful furniture... :sad:

We are still talking about 6 October, right? Seems some of you are getting pretty anxious for something that is weeks away.

SHHH do I need to remind you of the gag order?!

Sorry buddy... I'll shut up a little bit now...:msp_wink:

Are we supposed to bring chainsaws to this?? I was in this for the friends, lienies, and various forms of Apple Pie!

 

[TALLGUY]

Every saw we bring makes less room in the vehicle for food and "apple pie" and bacon. Mmmm bacon pie with a glass of Apple pie to wash it down.

It will mill all day, and the mill has a 30" capacity. If someone wants to try their hand at milling I'll leave my one 394 on it for those who want to play. I guess I'll bring some extra fuel, it's nothing for that thing to drink a gallon of fuel and 1/2 gallon of oil in an hour of milling.
